EHA was able to collect toy donations for every child, from ages 0-12, in all five of our developments. The EHA staff,
Youth Leadership Association (YLA), Edinburg P.D., members from Whiskey D. Band and other community members volunteered to gift all children a toy for this Christmas season. Our journey started at La Posada development, where parents with their children lined up to receive toys. Following, we caravanned to Lantana, El Jardin, Albores Courts and ended at Ramirez Apartments and in the same way children received their toys. When the event concluded at Ramirez, everybody and those who received gifts enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by residents from the Ramirez residency.
Along with all the volunteers the honorary Blue Santa and his helper accompanied us to donate toys to all of our children. This event would not have been possible without the help of the community. We would like to thank all those who donated toys or funds, volunteered and helped prepare everything for the giveaway.
